1. AIM The overall intention of the Action is to develop a guideline for the establishment of Quality Control (QC) plans in roadway bridges Reachable by taking 5 specific steps: (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) (v) Systematize knowledge on QC plans for bridges, which will help to achieve a state-of-art report that includes performance indicators and respective goals; Collect and contribute to up-to-date knowledge on performance indicators, including technical, environmental, economic and social indicators; Establish a wide set of quality specifications through the definition of performance goals, aiming to assure an expected performance level; Develop detailed examples for practicing engineers on the assessment of performance indicators as well as in the establishment of performance goals, to be integrated in the developed guideline; Create a database from COST countries with performance indicator values and respective goals, that can be useful for future purposes.
